Irrawaddy Lit Fest – Update 2

Published by Lucas Stewart

With only 48 hours left until the festival begins, the final programme schedule has come out, revealing a few extras not previously mentioned, such as:

British Council workshops on how parents can encourage their children to read and write at home – Saturday and Sunday at 9.30 to 10.20 and repeated at 4.30 to 5.20.

A children’s area with competitions and activities on the veranda outside the Exhibition Room.

A quick look at the ticket sales and it seems that, unsurprisingly, the Saturday will be the most popular day. If you haven’t already bought a ticket, best do it now (the BC ran out of Saturday tickets twice this week.)

My picks for the stand out sessions this weekend:

Friday

Poetry:Bones will Crow and other works: Ko Ko Thett, Zeyar Lynn and James Byrne – 10.30am in the Ballroom
